Puppy fell on head and breathing weird. Should I go to the vet?

This is a serious emergency. Please take your puppy to a veterinarian right away. This may have caused a bleed in the brain, brain swelling or other injuries. Time is crucial. The earlier the problem is diagnosed and treated the less damage may be done to the brain. Please take your puppy to a vet now.

I'm sorry to hear this happened however, to give him the best chance at survival he needs to get to a veterinarian immediately. If you cannot get him to a vet, then chances are he will not survive as it sounds like he has sustained head trauma.

Fast breathing can be caused by stress, pain, excitement, or genuine breathing problems. If this is not after play, strenuous exercise, or after a stressful moment it may indicate a health problem. I would have Bruno seen by a veterinarian ASAP if this has continued.

Hello, if Bubby has an open fontanel on his skull (brain skull not completely formed), then this can cause pets to be confused. He could have hit his head hard enough to have a concussion as well. If he does not start to be more alert within the next 30 minutes, or if he develops additional signs such as seizure and trembling, disorientation, or is not responding then he should be seen immediately by a veterinarian. Keep him head upright without putting him on his back. Hope he feels better soon.

Bleeding from the nose is a sig of head trauma, and I would recommend having Bear seen by a vet now to be safe. You want to make sure everything is ok, and not wait in case a serious problem develops later. I would take him into a vet now to have him examined. Best of luck.

This definitely sounds like there is damage to the brain. It is really best if you can take Carbon in to see the vet. Head trauma can cause severe damage to the brain and cause it to swell. This swelling can quickly become life-threatening as the brain swells beyond the capacity of the cranium. The veterinarian will be able to check for signs of serious brain damage and can give medication to decrease swelling.

Hi and thank you for your post on Boop by Petco. I am sorry to hear about Tiffany! Running head first into the fridge could have caused trauma to her head and brain which may have resulted in a concussion. If she is now having rapid or irregular breathing, I am very concerned as it may indicate she sustained a head injury. She could also have broken a bone such as a rib. My best advice is to take Tiffany to an emergency veterinarian right away so she can be assessed, diagnosed, and have the best chance for a success recovery.

If there are no other signs and you are not suspecting any intoxication you could monitor him at this stage for the next 2 hours and see if he settles down. If not a check up would be ideal to understand the underlying cause and treat appropriately. Unfortunately at this stage the presentation is quite generic and differentials are many.

If he's sleeping, his breathing can change in response to any dreams he may be having, so this is normal. I would monitor him for now, and if any swelling appears or he starts limping, he will have to see a vet. I will give you some resources that may help you afford a vet should you need to take him into one. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/

This is a medical emergency, and Girly needs to see a vet now. It's quite serious that she's not moving, and she could have been seriously injured or may have be extremely ill. She needs to be evaluated by a vet now, so please take her into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her right away.
